Configuring the Module and Interfaces

Before the RMON MultiProbe Module can become operational, you must configure the following parameters for the module and interfaces:

IP address (for each interface)

Subnet mask (for each interface)

Default gateway (for the module)

Assigning the Interface IP Address and Subnet Mask

You must assign a unique IP network address for each interface.

For example, if you do not bridge the three interfaces, you could assign IP addresses for a subnetted class B network as shown in the following IP address examples:

Note: In both of the IP address examples, each interface has a subnet mask of 255.255.255.0.

Interface 1 - 151.104.36.7

Interface 2 - 151.104.37.8

Interface 3 - 151.104.38.9

For example, if you bridge the three interfaces, the network portion of the IP addresses can be identical as shown in the following IP address examples:

Interface 1 - 151.104.36.7

Interface 2 - 151.104.36.8

Interface 3 - 151.104.36.9
